DEATH OF MR. HAWLEY.
It is our painful duty to announce the death of our fellow citizen, Augustus D. Hawley, Esq. He died at his residence in this village on Saturday morning last, after a short and severe illness. His disease terminated, we believe, in congestion of the brain.
The death of Mr. Hawley was no less sudden than the announcement is startling. But a few days since he was moving amongst us in the enjoyment of perfect health, with prospects of the most flattering character. He enjoyed the confidence and high respect of his fellow-citizens, and was reaping rich laurels and rewards in his professional business. Though yet young, he had attained a reputation which older men might envy. Cordial, frank in his manner, he won the esteem and love of all who enjoyed his friendship. Few men could have been called from among us, who would be more missed, or whose death would be more widely lamented. Emphatically, he was one "with his heart in his hand"—-generous, just and confiding. But he has gone!—-never to return. Strikingly are we admonished, "how uncertain is life—-how certain is death."
Mr. H. was a self made man, and the architect of his own fortunes. He represented this county in the lower branch of the legislature in 1840, and was one of the most prominent members of that year. Since that time he has been in the successful practice of his profession in this village. Of his integrity and ability, we have never heard a complaint, and he enjoyed the most entire confidence of his numerous clients. He had no enemies, and was the enemy of no one. It will be long "e'er we shall see his like again."
